Cheating?
Shi Zhou was stunned by this word, his cheeks, ears, and even his neck were blushing.
He took a quick breath, "Nonsense."
Before the lingering sound fell, the mobile phone in the pocket rang, and the sound waves collided in the small space.
Shi Zhou's nerves were already tense because of what happened just now, but now he trembled for no reason, looking like a frightened rabbit.
Sheng Yanwen was still resting on the doorknob with one hand, and groped down the source of the sound with the other hand, "Aren't you answering the phone?"
"……catch."
Shi Zhou rolled his Adam's apple, and frantically took out his phone before him.
The call was from Dean.
Shi Zhou picked it up, "Hello, Miss An?"
"Shi Zhou, where have you been?" Di'an was concerned on the other end of the phone, "Is nothing wrong?"
Ever since Shizhou ran into Zhao Yanqing at the red carpet dinner last time and had a small dispute, Di'an has been worried. Today, the press conferences of the two TV dramas were accidentally stuck in the same hotel.
She was afraid that Shi Zhou would run into that malicious Zhao Yanqing again, so she would call to confirm the situation after her artiste left home for a while.
"In the bathroom, I'm going to... ah!"
Before Shi Zhou could finish his answer, he suddenly let out a low gasp.
Sheng Yanwen's hand actually moved to the side of his neck again, rubbing against the rising ambiguous marks on his neck bit by bit.
How could Shi Zhou have the time to explain to Di An on the phone?He held the phone's speakerphone together, raised his eyes and glared at Sheng Yanwen complainingly.
Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, he just felt that the person in his arms was acting like a baby in a different way.
He tilted his head teasingly, "While making a phone call, you have to hide with me in such a small place, it's not like..."
Shi Zhou was afraid that those two words would come out of Sheng Yanwen's mouth again, so he quickly covered his mouth with one hand, and silently signaled with his lips——
"do not talk."
The slight coolness covered the lips, and the flesh of the palm was indescribably soft.
Sheng Yanwen opened his lips and bit the title as if there was nothing, and saw the sensitivity and panic in Shi Zhou's eyes as he wished.
Di'an on the other end of the phone only felt that he heard a vague rustling, and asked tentatively, "Shizhou? Are you still there? Is there something wrong and it's not convenient to talk?"
Shi Zhou adjusted his breath, "Sister An, I'm here, I'll be right back."
Dean didn't notice the clue, and relaxed, "That's good, go back to the lounge as soon as possible, the host is still waiting to have a screenplay with you actors, except for Yingying and Director Sun, none of you know where to go went."
Shi Zhou looked at Sheng Yanwen who was facing him with a guilty conscience, and did not dare to say, "Okay, I'll be right back."
The phone hangs up suddenly.
Shi Zhou hastily withdrew his hand, twitched his palm that was starting to burn, and the mantra that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time was finally released.
"Sheng Yanwen, you rascal!"
It was the first time Sheng Yanwen heard this comment from someone since he was a child, and he was surprised not to find it annoying, "Let's go, I feel like my makeup is going to be messed up."
Shi Zhou replied, "Isn't that a good thing you did?"
Sheng Yanwen didn't refute, but instead asked him, "Are you planning to go to the bathroom just now, or are you planning to come to me?"
Seeing that his little thoughts had been punctured, Shi Zhou answered irrelevantly, "Okay, let go of the doorknob."
The press conference will be held in less than half an hour. If the two leading actors are really missing, there will be a lot of speculation.
Sheng Yanwen was not an unreasonable person, he observed the situation in the corridor twice through the gap of the leaf window, and opened the door after confirming that there was no one there.
"Let's go, no one is there now."
"Ah."
Shi Zhou went out in response, followed by Sheng Yanwen, and before the two of them could relax, they ran into Zhang Xuxi and Lu Ran who came out of the small diagonally opposite room.
"..."
"..."
The gazes of the two sides froze in mid-air.
For some reason, there was a sense of guilt in the air of 'being caught doing something wrong'.
Shi Zhou suddenly remembered what Di An said on the phone: "Except for Yingying and Director Sun, none of you went anywhere."
It seems that there are not only him and Sheng Yanwen, but also Zhang Xuxi who also "disappeared" as a male supporting role.
Lu Ran's almond eyes looked moist and curious, "Shizhou, you...you..."
Shi Zhou felt that his birthmark was still faintly numb, and gave Sheng Yanwen a veiled look, and then approached his friend, "Lu Ran, is it convenient? I need your help with something."
"Ah good."
Lu Ran glanced at Zhang Xuxi next to him, and followed his friend to the other side.
The rest of Sheng Yanwen and Zhang Xuxi stared wide-eyed, but the former calmly said first, "Do you want to go back to the lounge?"
Zhang Xuxi is a smart man, he didn't ask how Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou came out of the utility room, he just pretended he didn't see it, "Well, let's go."
On the other side, Shi Zhou took Lu Ran to find a small empty room.
Shi Zhou locked the door, "Lu Ran, do you have anything with concealer?"
Lu Ran didn't know, so, "Yes, yes."
As a trainee makeup artist, Lu Ran is used to carrying some simple makeup tools on his body. He opened his small backpack and took out a concealer air cushion.
Lu Ran approached, looked left and right, "Shi Zhou, you don't have much makeup, why don't you go to your makeup artist if you want to make it up?"
Shi Zhou let out a muffled cough, and half tore off his collar, "here."
"..."
As one of the few people who had contact with Shi Zhou when he was a child, he always knew that there was a birthmark on his friend's neck, but now the red mark covering the birthmark is obviously——
Hickey? !
Lu Ran's eyes widened instantly, but he didn't dare to shout loudly.
Shi Zhou hugged the birthmark left by the temperature, embarrassed, "Can you help me?"
Lu Ran nodded, and couldn't help being curious while helping to cover up, "Shizhou, is this left by the rumors? Are you secretly dating?"
No wonder I had to ask the make-up team for help, these two must be secretly dating without telling everyone!
Shi Zhou never doubted Lu Ran's secrecy, and told the truth, "It's not considered a relationship."
"That's not counting as dating? I don't look like that kind of irresponsible person when I look at Sheng Yanwen?" Lu Ran was a little confused, but he still didn't forget to worry about his family.
"Shi Zhou, be careful in everything, don't be fooled by others, it's easy for you to have accidents when you're in a relationship!"
Shi Zhou tilted his neck to be tossed by his friend, and hooked his lips, "Sheng Yanwen is not that kind of person, once he decides on a person, he will be very responsible, we just haven't reached the time to break the relationship, let's talk..."
Lu Ran asked, "What more?"
Shi Zhou pursed his lips, "I quite like this state."
The two of them obviously haven't pierced the window paper yet, and Sheng Yanwen also wanted to restrain himself, but every time he would follow his instinct and lose control of him.
This made Shi Zhou feel that he was the only and unique existence that could arouse the emotions of Sheng Yanwen.
Lu Ran saw how he was enjoying it, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes, "Your relationship was spread so badly on the Internet, but you two really fell in love because of the drama?"
Love because of drama?
When Shi Zhou heard this familiar word, he smiled, "Actually, it has nothing to do with the character, what I like is Sheng Yanwen himself."
Maybe they were influenced by their roles back then, which made them change each other and warm up their relationship, but Shizhou, who has experienced the storms now, is very sure——
What I love is Sheng Yanwen and his soul.
Lu Ran withdrew his hand, "Well, although there are still some marks from a close look, the collar of your sweater can somewhat cover it."
Shi Zhou checked his eyes through the phone's front mirror, "Thank you, let's go."
The two walked out of the room and walked towards the shared lounge backstage together.
Shi Zhou recalled what happened when he walked out of the utility room, and began to ask, "Lu Ran, tell me the truth, what happened to you and Zhang Xuxi?"
At this moment, "Troubled Times" hasn't finished yet. According to Shi Zhou's understanding of his friends, he and Zhang Xuxi should not have reached the critical point of that "short-term relationship".
"It's okay, Xu Xi has always treated me like a younger brother."
Lu Ran pursed his lips, and there was a trace of unspeakable bitterness in his smile.
"Shi Zhou, I'm different from you. My family relationship with Xu Xi is too special. I just want to hide the feelings I shouldn't have and not bring him trouble."
Everything else, I can't think about it or dare to think about it.
Shi Zhou asked tentatively, "Then what were you doing in that small room just now?"
Lu Ran blushed, and he didn't hide it from him, "I went to Xiangshi with the team a few days ago, and I got acute gastroenteritis after eating seafood for a few days."
"I forgot to take my medicine at noon today, and drank a cup of iced milk tea on an empty stomach. Just, just now, Xu Xi caught me and taught me a lesson."
Lu Ran's stomach problem was left in the orphanage when he was a child, and even after returning to Zhang's house, he couldn't completely cure it. He had to eat three meals a day on time, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable when he was hungry.
When Zhang Xuxi was mentioned, Lu Ran's eyes brightened a lot.
"Don't look at Xu Xi who doesn't talk much to the outside world, but he can be strict and fierce to me... that's fine."
"When we lived together, he had to watch me eat every meal in person. Even when we were separated from school and work, he never missed a single message reminder from him."
When Shizhou knew about Lu Ran and Zhang Xuxi, the relationship between the two had already become known to everyone.Speaking of which, this was the first time he heard Lu Ran mention these details of getting along with each other.
Shi Zhou hesitated to speak, "Lu Ran, I told you last time..."
Lu Ran understood his unspoken persuasion, and smiled lightly, "Shizhou, I know you are worried about me and for my own good."
But Shizhou is not Lu Ran himself after all, and he doesn't understand that some feelings can no longer be given up for him.
"I understand Zhang's parents' expectations of him very well, and I dare not let down their family's kindness in nurturing me over the years."
"So, I know better than anyone that this relationship will end without a problem, but even if it happens a thousand times over—" Lu Ran stopped, his eyes were determined and bright, "I am willing to repeat the same mistakes."
"..."
Shi Zhou's heart was shocked, and he could no longer say any rebuttal words.
The system that silently heard this conversation climbed up, [Zhoubao, I have already said that everyone's fate is in their own hands, and there is no way to forcefully change their will. 】
Just like Shi Zhou himself, he obviously had the opportunity to let go of this relationship and reap a completely different life, but he still chose to start over with Sheng Yanwen.
Destiny is like a vortex of reincarnation. Some people struggle desperately and cannot escape, while others are willing to drown.
"Brother Zhou, you are back!"
Hanhan, who was waiting at the door of the dressing room, saw Shizhou's figure, trotted closer and urged, "Everyone is here, we are waiting for you! I almost thought you fell into the bathroom and couldn't get out."
Lu Ran smiled, and stopped the topic just now, "Shizhou, you go in quickly, don't delay the business."
Shi Zhou nodded, "Okay, we'll talk when we have time."
...
As the largest IP film and television project in the last two years, "The World" is directed by Sun Cong, and Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou starred as the male protagonists. The invitation to the press conference still attracted many media friends.
There are still 10 minutes before the official start of the press conference, and there are a bunch of entertainment journalists carrying camera cannons in the front row of the stage, all waiting to capture fresh media pictures for the first time.
In addition, the sisters of the fan stations of each family also squatted to guard their positions.
A fan who entered the arena through official channels took out his long gun and cannon and arrived late. After looking around, he couldn't find any open space in the front row.
In desperation, she had no choice but to find another way and ran to the unoccupied angled stands on the second floor, intending to harvest some usable materials from a bird's-eye view.
The girl touched the furry rabbit claw pendant she was wearing, and opened her Weibo before the show started.
@盛世私元兔印: Arrived at the press conference battlefield!My CP must send me candy today!
Once this Weibo, which is only visible to fans, was posted, it received countless comments from CP fans who were "waiting to be fed".
——Ooooh, sister rabbit print!It's all up to you!
——Our little couple was filmed in two places separately, can we finally get fresh pictures together today?
——I'm already looking forward to it!A little farewell is better than a newlywed!Sugar is a must today!
Seeing these comments, Jiajia, who is a CP fan station, peeled off a piece of fruit candy and pressed it into the bottom of her tongue.
Soon, four or five familiar figures appeared beside the stage.
Because of the obstruction of the line of sight, Yu Ji and the fans in the front row of the stage hadn't reacted yet, but Jiajia, who was in a high position, immediately regained her spirits——
oooooooo!
How can a young couple get so close in private!
The shutter clicked a few times, and the cheers from the audience were delayed.
The main creators came to the stage one after another under the introduction of the host, and Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, who were the co-stars, naturally stood together.
Jiajia quickly pointed the camera at the two, and after only a short while, her eyes and movements froze.
Handheld shots have a subtle offset.
In less than three seconds, Jiajia, who made an accidental discovery, bit the hard candy in her mouth——
OMG!
What is that faint red color on Zhou Bao's neck?Brother Wen, what are you looking at quietly?
The sweet fruit smell made Jiajia feel itchy, and the continuous shutter sound represented her frenzied heart——
Ah ah ah ah something is wrong, something is wrong!
There is absolutely something wrong with the prosperous young couple!A little farewell is better than a newlywed!Thunder hits the ground!No!Exclusive marks are all out!
...
The finalized press conference lasted for an hour and ended successfully, as chief producer Ling Feng greeted.
"I arranged a medium box on the sixth floor of the hotel in advance. The family members of our crew will have a light meal together tonight. Everyone has worked so hard on the crew for so long, so take advantage of the promotional period of these few days to have a good rest!"
Facing Ling Feng's proposal, everyone was willing to agree with face.
Shi Zhou approached Sheng Yanwen slowly, and asked in a worried low voice, "Have you brought anti-allergic medicine? You may still have to drink later."
Sheng Yanwen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Xiao Cheng prepared it for me, and I will eat it when there are not many people."
The two slowed down tacitly, letting the director and others take the elevator up first.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Xiao Cheng took out the medicine bottle and water that he had already prepared, "Brother Wen, here it is."
Sheng Yan heard that there was no need to cover up in front of Shi Zhou, so he swallowed it neatly.
Suddenly, there were several footsteps behind him.
Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou turned their heads at the same time, and when they met the person who came up, their expressions changed——
Zhao Yanqing led Luo Yicheng out of another press conference hall.In addition, I also followed the main creators of "Drunken Country", presumably their press conference just ended not long ago.
Zhao Yanqing signaled to the main creator next to him to go downstairs first and leave, while he walked slowly to Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, "You two, long time no see."
Sheng Yan stood in front of Shi Zhou calmly, and blocked Zhao Yanqing's implied gaze, "It's quite a 'coincidence' that Mr. Zhao deliberately arranged for the press conference to be held on the same floor of the same hotel."
Zhao Yanqing smiled, "Mr. Sheng and Mr. Shi are both actors, and they may not understand the rules of our behind-the-scenes investors. The popularity is achieved by actively fighting for it."
"Arrange the fixed-file press conference in the same hotel, and the entertainment news in the next two days will be 'I am in you, and you are in me'. Cooperation can be a win-win situation, isn't it?"
Sheng Yanwen's eyes turned cold when he heard Zhao Yanqing's shameless words.
According to the fixed expectations on the Internet some time ago, the popularity of "Ghost Times" is still slightly higher than that of "Drunken Country".
Zhao Yanqing, as a behind-the-scenes investor, this method of "following the same pattern" is obviously to bind the popularity.
Because of the last encounter, Shi Zhou's impression of Zhao Yanqing has fallen to the bottom. He smiled flatly, "Mr. Zhao's method of forcing cooperation is really impressive."
Zhao Yanqing heard his sarcasm, and a chill appeared in the depths of his seemingly calm pupils, "How can Mr. Shizhou be as impressive as Mr. Shizhou?"
In the small black room, the punch that Shi Zhou hit him in the face while he was in the dark was barely considered a minor injury, but then the blow with his knee on his knee really almost killed him.
As a man, who can tolerate such humiliation?
Zhao Yanqing endured the resurgence of anger in his heart, took out a long and thin cigarette and lit it.
Sheng Yanwen recalled that Shizhou said he hated the smell of cigarettes when he was drunk for the first time, and a trace of disgust crossed his brows, "Mr. Zhao, I was too hasty last time, and I didn't have time to say hello to you."
Zhao Yanqing didn't react, "Say hello?"
Sheng Yanwen stepped forward, suppressing Zhao Yanqing's aura with his absolute height, "I took over the investment quota that Beidou Film and Television got from Mr. Zhao."
"In other words, I am also one of the investors of "Gone with the Wind."
Zhao Yanqing frowned, "..."
""Drunk in the River and Mountain" regards the crew of "Troubled Times" as an opponent in the ring? But Shu Sheng said bluntly, the acting skills of Mr. Zhao, the little lover who came in temporarily, are not enough to support this big male lead drama."
He told the most hurtful facts in the calmest tone, and at the end he didn't forget to take a look at Luo Yicheng.
Using this method to boost the popularity of TV dramas, once the plots, acting skills, rhythms, etc. of the two dramas are compared, it will only make netizens who follow the drama spontaneously.
Luo Yicheng's face turned red, but he couldn't refute a word——
Compared with the rumors that he won the "Best Newcomer Award" in the three major TV drama festivals after his debut, and has maintained a high popularity since then, he really does not have any capital and strength to contend with.
Sheng Yanwen looked directly into Zhao Yanqing's eyes, and his warning sounded like a drum, "I advise Mr. Zhao not to use low-level tricks on dramas and people, not to mention lowering his social status, and be careful to play himself into it!"
"..."
Zhao Yanqing clenched his cigarette butt, and pretended to be calm under Sheng Yanwen's warning.
- Ding dong.
The sound of the elevator arriving at the floor broke the momentary stalemate.
Sheng Yanwen didn't pay any attention to Zhao Yanqing's reaction, even without turning his head, he accurately grasped Shi Zhou's wrist, and took him into the elevator with an implicit oath.
The elevator door closed again, cutting off the possibility of the two parties continuing to negotiate.
Zhao Yanqing remembered that he was actually overwhelmed by Sheng Yanwen, who was almost 20 years younger, and felt aggrieved for no reason, "Damn it!"
It's okay for Sheng Congyun to be ruthless, and it's not easy to save money after giving birth to a son——
Sheng Yanwen's warning just now obviously brought Shizhou into the protection scope of "one of us".
From the first time he met Shi Zhou at the bar, Zhao Yanqing had a different thought.
Probably because he is used to the obedient little entertainers, the more reluctant Shi Zhou's beautiful face showed, the more sexual interest Zhao Yanqing became. He wanted to see Shi Zhou crying and begging for mercy under him in his dreams.
He was impulsive last time after drinking, so he recruited two bodyguards to temporarily tie Shi Zhou into the small dark room. He originally planned to have a strong bow, but he didn't expect that he would stay in the hospital for a few days in the end.
The more I think about it, the more I am ashamed!The more I think about it, the more I am not reconciled!
In fact, Zhao Yanqing had many ways to deal with an actor with no special background like Shi Zhou——
He was really angry in the past, and he can't wait any longer. He can compulsively eat and clean up, and then take some nude photos and videos for threats. No matter how wild or tough his temper is, he can still be cleaned up.
But now, when encountering Sheng Yanwen, a stubborn stubble with an untouchable background, things are not so easy to handle.
Luo Yicheng saw clearly the flickering light in Zhao Yanqing's pupils, and secretly pryed out selfishly, "Brother Zhao, you wouldn't really allow Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou to force you with "Troubled Times", would you?"
"Ah."
Zhao Yanqing sneered, and didn't care about Luo Yicheng's stupid temptation, "I, Zhao Yanqing, will let two young men climb on top of my head?"
Whether it's the investment quota and sharing benefits of "Gloomy Times", or Shi Zhou's disobedient little artist.
Since it is destined not to be obtained, it must be destroyed step by step.
...
The slowly ascending elevator stopped at the sixth floor.
Xiao Cheng has sharp eyesight, and immediately walked out with his simple shoulders on his shoulders as if he was a good brother.
Standing on the same spot, Shi Zhou lowered his gaze, shook his wrist that was still tightly held by Sheng Yanwen, and raised his lips, "Sheng Yanwen, you looked quite handsome when you suppressed Zhao Yanqing with your aura just now."
Sheng Yanwen glanced back at him, helplessly, "Still in the mood to laugh? Do you know what usually happens when you provoke Zhao Yanqing?"
Shi Zhou nodded, "I know."
Zhao Yanqing's family background should not be underestimated.
In his early 20s, he was already a well-known playboy in Haishi and Dijing. In the past ten years, he has become an old fritter in the capital circle.
Relying on his wealth and brains, he played very well, and no one dared to break his face with him easily, except for the rumors that he was born in the same family and was not afraid of trouble.
Shizhou remembered an important matter, and said bluntly, "You just came forward to provoke him for me, new and old hatred, Zhao Yanqing may not let it go."
Sheng Yanwen understood Shi Zhou's implication.
Shi Zhou continued, "You and I are public figures after all, and we have to stay on the set for a while in the future. In the short term, Zhao Yanqing has no chance to make easy moves."
"But the TV series that will be launched soon involves the interests of your investors, Zhao Yanqing is likely to play tricks."
Just like the sudden resource leak back then, "A Troubled Times" lost most of its early popularity.
Shi Zhou met Shang Sheng Yanwen's eyes, and hooked his palm with selfishness, "Yanwen, we have to discuss it with Teacher Ling Feng and the others."
For some things, their crew had to prepare early.
Shi Zhou was stunned by this word, his cheeks, ears, and even his neck were blushing.
He took a quick breath, "Nonsense."
Before the lingering sound fell, the mobile phone in the pocket rang, and the sound waves collided in the small space.
Shi Zhou's nerves were already tense because of what happened just now, but now he trembled for no reason, looking like a frightened rabbit.
Sheng Yanwen was still resting on the doorknob with one hand, and groped down the source of the sound with the other hand, "Aren't you answering the phone?"
"……catch."
Shi Zhou rolled his Adam's apple, and frantically took out his phone before him.
The call was from Dean.
Shi Zhou picked it up, "Hello, Miss An?"
"Shi Zhou, where have you been?" Di'an was concerned on the other end of the phone, "Is nothing wrong?"
Ever since Shizhou ran into Zhao Yanqing at the red carpet dinner last time and had a small dispute, Di'an has been worried. Today, the press conferences of the two TV dramas were accidentally stuck in the same hotel.
She was afraid that Shi Zhou would run into that malicious Zhao Yanqing again, so she would call to confirm the situation after her artiste left home for a while.
"In the bathroom, I'm going to... ah!"
Before Shi Zhou could finish his answer, he suddenly let out a low gasp.
Sheng Yanwen's hand actually moved to the side of his neck again, rubbing against the rising ambiguous marks on his neck bit by bit.
How could Shi Zhou have the time to explain to Di An on the phone?He held the phone's speakerphone together, raised his eyes and glared at Sheng Yanwen complainingly.
Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, he just felt that the person in his arms was acting like a baby in a different way.

"do not talk."
The slight coolness covered the lips, and the flesh of the palm was indescribably soft.
Sheng Yanwen opened his lips and bit the title as if there was nothing, and saw the sensitivity and panic in Shi Zhou's eyes as he wished.
Di'an on the other end of the phone only felt that he heard a vague rustling, and asked tentatively, "Shizhou? Are you still there? Is there something wrong and it's not convenient to talk?"

"Shi Zhou, I'm different from you. My family relationship with Xu Xi is too special. I just want to hide the feelings I shouldn't have and not bring him trouble."
Everything else, I can't think about it or dare to think about it.
Shi Zhou asked tentatively, "Then what were you doing in that small room just now?"
Lu Ran blushed, and he didn't hide it from him, "I went to Xiangshi with the team a few days ago, and I got acute gastroenteritis after eating seafood for a few days."
"I forgot to take my medicine at noon today, and drank a cup of iced milk tea on an empty stomach. Just, just now, Xu Xi caught me and taught me a lesson."
Lu Ran's stomach problem was left in the orphanage when he was a child, and even after returning to Zhang's house, he couldn't completely cure it. He had to eat three meals a day on time, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable when he was hungry.
When Zhang Xuxi was mentioned, Lu Ran's eyes brightened a lot.
"Don't look at Xu Xi who doesn't talk much to the outside world, but he can be strict and fierce to me... that's fine."
"When we lived together, he had to watch me eat every meal in person. Even when we were separated from school and work, he never missed a single message reminder from him."
When Shizhou knew about Lu Ran and Zhang Xuxi, the relationship between the two had already become known to everyone.Speaking of which, this was the first time he heard Lu Ran mention these details of getting along with each other.
Shi Zhou hesitated to speak, "Lu Ran, I told you last time..."
Lu Ran understood his unspoken persuasion, and smiled lightly, "Shizhou, I know you are worried about me and for my own good."
But Shizhou is not Lu Ran himself after all, and he doesn't understand that some feelings can no longer be given up for him.
"I understand Zhang's parents' expectations of him very well, and I dare not let down their family's kindness in nurturing me over the years."
"So, I know better than anyone that this relationship will end without a problem, but even if it happens a thousand times over—" Lu Ran stopped, his eyes were determined and bright, "I am willing to repeat the same mistakes."
"..."
Shi Zhou's heart was shocked, and he could no longer say any rebuttal words.
The system that silently heard this conversation climbed up, [Zhoubao, I have already said that everyone's fate is in their own hands, and there is no way to forcefully change their will. 】
Just like Shi Zhou himself, he obviously had the opportunity to let go of this relationship and reap a completely different life, but he still chose to start over with Sheng Yanwen.
Destiny is like a vortex of reincarnation. Some people struggle desperately and cannot escape, while others are willing to drown.
"Brother Zhou, you are back!"
Hanhan, who was waiting at the door of the dressing room, saw Shizhou's figure, trotted closer and urged, "Everyone is here, we are waiting for you! I almost thought you fell into the bathroom and couldn't get out."
Lu Ran smiled, and stopped the topic just now, "Shizhou, you go in quickly, don't delay the business."
Shi Zhou nodded, "Okay, we'll talk when we have time."
...
As the largest IP film and television project in the last two years, "The World" is directed by Sun Cong, and Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou starred as the male protagonists. The invitation to the press conference still attracted many media friends.
There are still 10 minutes before the official start of the press conference, and there are a bunch of entertainment journalists carrying camera cannons in the front row of the stage, all waiting to capture fresh media pictures for the first time.
In addition, the sisters of the fan stations of each family also squatted to guard their positions.
A fan who entered the arena through official channels took out his long gun and cannon and arrived late. After looking around, he couldn't find any open space in the front row.
In desperation, she had no choice but to find another way and ran to the unoccupied angled stands on the second floor, intending to harvest some usable materials from a bird's-eye view.
The girl touched the furry rabbit claw pendant she was wearing, and opened her Weibo before the show started.
@盛世私元兔印: Arrived at the press conference battlefield!My CP must send me candy today!
Once this Weibo, which is only visible to fans, was posted, it received countless comments from CP fans who were "waiting to be fed".
——Ooooh, sister rabbit print!It's all up to you!
——Our little couple was filmed in two places separately, can we finally get fresh pictures together today?
——I'm already looking forward to it!A little farewell is better than a newlywed!Sugar is a must today!
Seeing these comments, Jiajia, who is a CP fan station, peeled off a piece of fruit candy and pressed it into the bottom of her tongue.
Soon, four or five familiar figures appeared beside the stage.
Because of the obstruction of the line of sight, Yu Ji and the fans in the front row of the stage hadn't reacted yet, but Jiajia, who was in a high position, immediately regained her spirits——
oooooooo!
How can a young couple get so close in private!
The shutter clicked a few times, and the cheers from the audience were delayed.
The main creators came to the stage one after another under the introduction of the host, and Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, who were the co-stars, naturally stood together.
Jiajia quickly pointed the camera at the two, and after only a short while, her eyes and movements froze.
Handheld shots have a subtle offset.
In less than three seconds, Jiajia, who made an accidental discovery, bit the hard candy in her mouth——
OMG!
What is that faint red color on Zhou Bao's neck?Brother Wen, what are you looking at quietly?
The sweet fruit smell made Jiajia feel itchy, and the continuous shutter sound represented her frenzied heart——
Ah ah ah ah something is wrong, something is wrong!
There is absolutely something wrong with the prosperous young couple!A little farewell is better than a newlywed!Thunder hits the ground!No!Exclusive marks are all out!
...
The finalized press conference lasted for an hour and ended successfully, as chief producer Ling Feng greeted.
"I arranged a medium box on the sixth floor of the hotel in advance. The family members of our crew will have a light meal together tonight. Everyone has worked so hard on the crew for so long, so take advantage of the promotional period of these few days to have a good rest!"
Facing Ling Feng's proposal, everyone was willing to agree with face.
Shi Zhou approached Sheng Yanwen slowly, and asked in a worried low voice, "Have you brought anti-allergic medicine? You may still have to drink later."
Sheng Yanwen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Xiao Cheng prepared it for me, and I will eat it when there are not many people."
The two slowed down tacitly, letting the director and others take the elevator up first.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Xiao Cheng took out the medicine bottle and water that he had already prepared, "Brother Wen, here it is."
Sheng Yan heard that there was no need to cover up in front of Shi Zhou, so he swallowed it neatly.
Suddenly, there were several footsteps behind him.
Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou turned their heads at the same time, and when they met the person who came up, their expressions changed——
Zhao Yanqing led Luo Yicheng out of another press conference hall.In addition, I also followed the main creators of "Drunken Country", presumably their press conference just ended not long ago.
Zhao Yanqing signaled to the main creator next to him to go downstairs first and leave, while he walked slowly to Shi Zhou and Sheng Yanwen, "You two, long time no see."
Sheng Yan stood in front of Shi Zhou calmly, and blocked Zhao Yanqing's implied gaze, "It's quite a 'coincidence' that Mr. Zhao deliberately arranged for the press conference to be held on the same floor of the same hotel."
Zhao Yanqing smiled, "Mr. Sheng and Mr. Shi are both actors, and they may not understand the rules of our behind-the-scenes investors. The popularity is achieved by actively fighting for it."
"Arrange the fixed-file press conference in the same hotel, and the entertainment news in the next two days will be 'I am in you, and you are in me'. Cooperation can be a win-win situation, isn't it?"
Sheng Yanwen's eyes turned cold when he heard Zhao Yanqing's shameless words.
According to the fixed expectations on the Internet some time ago, the popularity of "Ghost Times" is still slightly higher than that of "Drunken Country".
Zhao Yanqing, as a behind-the-scenes investor, this method of "following the same pattern" is obviously to bind the popularity.
Because of the last encounter, Shi Zhou's impression of Zhao Yanqing has fallen to the bottom. He smiled flatly, "Mr. Zhao's method of forcing cooperation is really impressive."
Zhao Yanqing heard his sarcasm, and a chill appeared in the depths of his seemingly calm pupils, "How can Mr. Shizhou be as impressive as Mr. Shizhou?"
In the small black room, the punch that Shi Zhou hit him in the face while he was in the dark was barely considered a minor injury, but then the blow with his knee on his knee really almost killed him.
As a man, who can tolerate such humiliation?
Zhao Yanqing endured the resurgence of anger in his heart, took out a long and thin cigarette and lit it.
Sheng Yanwen recalled that Shizhou said he hated the smell of cigarettes when he was drunk for the first time, and a trace of disgust crossed his brows, "Mr. Zhao, I was too hasty last time, and I didn't have time to say hello to you."
Zhao Yanqing didn't react, "Say hello?"
Sheng Yanwen stepped forward, suppressing Zhao Yanqing's aura with his absolute height, "I took over the investment quota that Beidou Film and Television got from Mr. Zhao."
"In other words, I am also one of the investors of "Gone with the Wind."
Zhao Yanqing frowned, "..."
""Drunk in the River and Mountain" regards the crew of "Troubled Times" as an opponent in the ring? But Shu Sheng said bluntly, the acting skills of Mr. Zhao, the little lover who came in temporarily, are not enough to support this big male lead drama."
He told the most hurtful facts in the calmest tone, and at the end he didn't forget to take a look at Luo Yicheng.
Using this method to boost the popularity of TV dramas, once the plots, acting skills, rhythms, etc. of the two dramas are compared, it will only make netizens who follow the drama spontaneously.
Luo Yicheng's face turned red, but he couldn't refute a word——
Compared with the rumors that he won the "Best Newcomer Award" in the three major TV drama festivals after his debut, and has maintained a high popularity since then, he really does not have any capital and strength to contend with.
Sheng Yanwen looked directly into Zhao Yanqing's eyes, and his warning sounded like a drum, "I advise Mr. Zhao not to use low-level tricks on dramas and people, not to mention lowering his social status, and be careful to play himself into it!"
"..."
Zhao Yanqing clenched his cigarette butt, and pretended to be calm under Sheng Yanwen's warning.
- Ding dong.
The sound of the elevator arriving at the floor broke the momentary stalemate.
Sheng Yanwen didn't pay any attention to Zhao Yanqing's reaction, even without turning his head, he accurately grasped Shi Zhou's wrist, and took him into the elevator with an implicit oath.
The elevator door closed again, cutting off the possibility of the two parties continuing to negotiate.
Zhao Yanqing remembered that he was actually overwhelmed by Sheng Yanwen, who was almost 20 years younger, and felt aggrieved for no reason, "Damn it!"
It's okay for Sheng Congyun to be ruthless, and it's not easy to save money after giving birth to a son——
Sheng Yanwen's warning just now obviously brought Shizhou into the protection scope of "one of us".
From the first time he met Shi Zhou at the bar, Zhao Yanqing had a different thought.
Probably because he is used to the obedient little entertainers, the more reluctant Shi Zhou's beautiful face showed, the more sexual interest Zhao Yanqing became. He wanted to see Shi Zhou crying and begging for mercy under him in his dreams.
He was impulsive last time after drinking, so he recruited two bodyguards to temporarily tie Shi Zhou into the small dark room. He originally planned to have a strong bow, but he didn't expect that he would stay in the hospital for a few days in the end.
The more I think about it, the more I am ashamed!The more I think about it, the more I am not reconciled!
In fact, Zhao Yanqing had many ways to deal with an actor with no special background like Shi Zhou——
He was really angry in the past, and he can't wait any longer. He can compulsively eat and clean up, and then take some nude photos and videos for threats. No matter how wild or tough his temper is, he can still be cleaned up.
But now, when encountering Sheng Yanwen, a stubborn stubble with an untouchable background, things are not so easy to handle.
Luo Yicheng saw clearly the flickering light in Zhao Yanqing's pupils, and secretly pryed out selfishly, "Brother Zhao, you wouldn't really allow Sheng Yanwen and Shi Zhou to force you with "Troubled Times", would you?"
"Ah."
Zhao Yanqing sneered, and didn't care about Luo Yicheng's stupid temptation, "I, Zhao Yanqing, will let two young men climb on top of my head?"
Whether it's the investment quota and sharing benefits of "Gloomy Times", or Shi Zhou's disobedient little artist.
Since it is destined not to be obtained, it must be destroyed step by step.
...
The slowly ascending elevator stopped at the sixth floor.
Xiao Cheng has sharp eyesight, and immediately walked out with his simple shoulders on his shoulders as if he was a good brother.
Standing on the same spot, Shi Zhou lowered his gaze, shook his wrist that was still tightly held by Sheng Yanwen, and raised his lips, "Sheng Yanwen, you looked quite handsome when you suppressed Zhao Yanqing with your aura just now."
Sheng Yanwen glanced back at him, helplessly, "Still in the mood to laugh? Do you know what usually happens when you provoke Zhao Yanqing?"
Shi Zhou nodded, "I know."
Zhao Yanqing's family background should not be underestimated.
In his early 20s, he was already a well-known playboy in Haishi and Dijing. In the past ten years, he has become an old fritter in the capital circle.
Relying on his wealth and brains, he played very well, and no one dared to break his face with him easily, except for the rumors that he was born in the same family and was not afraid of trouble.
Shizhou remembered an important matter, and said bluntly, "You just came forward to provoke him for me, new and old hatred, Zhao Yanqing may not let it go."
Sheng Yanwen understood Shi Zhou's implication.
Shi Zhou continued, "You and I are public figures after all, and we have to stay on the set for a while in the future. In the short term, Zhao Yanqing has no chance to make easy moves."
"But the TV series that will be launched soon involves the interests of your investors, Zhao Yanqing is likely to play tricks."
Just like the sudden resource leak back then, "A Troubled Times" lost most of its early popularity.
Shi Zhou met Shang Sheng Yanwen's eyes, and hooked his palm with selfishness, "Yanwen, we have to discuss it with Teacher Ling Feng and the others."
For some things, their crew had to prepare early.
